Get ready to take to the seas with the new Armada Faction, the Empire of Dust! The game is growing fast and full of high-seas combat!
The game is all about sea warfare set in their fantasy Kings of War world. The gameplay seems to be fast but in-depth with only 6-9 ships being used per side. The game started out with three factions, Orcs, Dwarves, and Basileans, but they are introducing a bunch of new factions from the looks of it.
They recently added two new boxsets to introduce the Empire of Dust. If you enjoy the Black Seas ruleset by Warlord Games, you’ll feel right at home here. Let’s take a look at some of the new minis.
